Grumpypants Oct 2021 6:04am, 19 Oct 2021 3,728 posts	0 Grumpypants I have a couple of suits from my work days. I've been retired 15 years so they're older than that. Just keeping them in case of funerals!
Heinzster Oct 2021 6:11am, 19 Oct 2021 1,905 posts	0 Heinzster I have a jumper I bought on honeymoon, it is the warmest piece of clothing I own and I wear it every year. That was 1996.
Heinzster Oct 2021 6:14am, 19 Oct 2021 1,906 posts	0 Heinzster Also I have just inherited my Dad's university scarf. It is at least 55 years old. I have the undergrad scarf but never bought the graduate one, sadly I am now the only family member who has attended that university.
Flatlander Oct 2021 7:31am, 19 Oct 2021 2,266 posts	0 Flatlander I'm not a follower of fashion so I don't throw away clothes just because they are out of fashion. My clothes only get discarded if they become literally unwearable. If they have a few holes they get used for DIY or gardening. I still wear what used to be my brother's pullover and it remains in decent condition. Like Heinzster's university scarf, it is probably just over 55 years old!

Cerrertonia Oct 2021 10:38am, 19 Oct 2021 14,856 posts	0 Cerrertonia My wife still wears clothes she bought in her teens, over thirty years ago. Think the oldest thing I have is from 2014.
Nellers Oct 2021 10:46am, 19 Oct 2021 39,060 posts	0 Nellers Recently had reason to look at baby photos of my now-24-year-old son and was surprised to see that I was wearing the same jumper as I had on in some of those pictures! Not sure I’ve got any closer hing over 30yo but definitely a lot of 20+ survivors, and all my jeans are hand-me-ups from my sons.
